4.1.0 (2026-04-27)

• #325 chore: support PHP 8.2 and up ( @phil-davis )
• *326 chore: remove phpVersion from phpstan.neon ( @phil-davis )

This release supports PHP 8.2 and up. That is specified in composer.json so consumers should automatically select it only for projects that have minimum PHP 8.2 support.

The 4.0.* release series, supporting PHP 7.4 8.0 8.1, will have bugfixes backported if relevant/needed for some time.

• #204 Use libxml version instead of PHP version before calling libxml_disable_entity_loader ( @CarlSchwan )

• #191: add changelog and version bump that was missed in 2.2.2

• #190: adjust libxml_disable_entity_loader calls ready for PHP 8.0 (@phil-davis)

• #183: fixed warning 'xml cannot be empty while reading', which might lead to an infinite-loop (@mrow4a)
• #179, #178, #177 #176: several build/continuous integration related improvements (@phil-davis)

• #171: Added Support for PHP 7.4, dropped Support for PHP 7.0 (@staabm, @phil-davis)
• #174: Update testsuite to phpunit8 (@phil-davis)
• Added phpstan coverage (@phil-davis)
• #144: Added a new functionCaller deserializer function for executing a callable when reading an XML element (@vsouz4)

• #166: Throw exception when empty inputs found

• #161: Prevent infinite loop on empty xml elements

• #149: Properly detect xml parse errors in parseCurrentElement() edge-cases

• #112: Added a mixedContent deserializer function, which might be useful if you're parsing HTML-like documents with elements that contain both text and other elements as siblings. (@staabm).

• Now requires PHP 7.
• Uses typehints everywhere.
• Fixed some minor strict typing-related issues.
• Removed workaround for PHP bug 64230.

• Now requires PHP 5.5.
• Using finally to always roll back the context stack when serializing.
• #94: Fixed an infinite loop condition when reading some invalid XML documents.

• The contextStack in the Reader object is now correctly rolled back in error conditions (@staabm).
• repeatingElements deserializer now still parses if a bare element name without clark notation was given.
• $elementMap in the Reader now also supports bare element names.
• Service::expect() can now also work with bare element names.

• Parsing clark-notation is now cached. This can speed up parsing large documents with lots of repeating elements a fair bit. (@icewind1991).

• Any array thrown into the serializer with numeric keys is now simply traversed and each individual item is serialized. This fixes an issue related to serializing value objects with array children.
• When serializing value objects, properties that have a null value or an empty array are now skipped. We believe this to be the saner default, but does constitute a BC break for those depending on this.
• Serializing array properties in value objects was broken.

• The Service class adds a new mapValueObject method which provides basic capabilities to map between ValueObjects and XML.
• #61: You can now specify serializers for specific classes, allowing you separate the object you want to serialize from the serializer. This uses the $classMap property which is defined on both the Service and Writer.
• It's now possible to pass an array of possible root elements to Sabre\Xml\Service::expect().
• Moved some parsing logic to Reader::getDeserializerForElementName(), so people with more advanced use-cases can implement their own logic there.
• #63: When serializing elements using arrays, the value key in the array is now optional.
• #62: Added a keyValue deserializer function. This can be used instead of the Element\KeyValue class and is a lot more flexible. (@staabm)
• Also added an enum deserializer function to replace Element\Elements.
• Using an empty string for a namespace prefix now has the same effect as null.

• #53: Added parseGetElements, a function like parseInnerTree, except that it always returns an array of elements, or an empty array.

• #44, #45: Catching broken and invalid XML better and throwing Sabre\Xml\LibXMLException whenever we encounter errors. (@stefanmajoor, @DaanBiesterbos)

• No functional changes since 0.4.3. Marking it as 1.0.0 as a promise for API stability.
• Using php-cs-fixer for automated CS enforcement.

• Minor tweaks for the public release.

• Removed constants.php again. They messed with PHPUnit and don't really provide a great benefit.
• #41: Correctly handle self-closing xml elements.

• #40: An element with an empty namespace (xmlns="") is not allowed to have a prefix. This is now fixed.

• Added Sabre\Xml\Service. This is intended as a simple way to centrally configure xml applications and easily parse/write things from there. #35, #38.
• Renamed 'baseUri' to 'contextUri' everywhere.
• #36: Added a few convenience constants to lib/constants.php.
• Sabre\Xml\Util::parseClarkNotation is now in the Sabre\Xml\Service class.

• Added XmlDeserializable to match XmlSerializable.

• Added $elementMap argument to parseInnerTree, for quickly overriding parsing rules within an element.

• Now depends on sabre/uri 1.0.

• LibXMLException now inherits from ParseException, so it's easy for users to catch any exception thrown by the parser.

• Major BC Break: method names for the Element interface have been renamed from serializeXml and deserializeXml to xmlSerialize and xmlDeserialize. This is so that it matches PHP's JsonSerializable interface.
• #25: Added XmlSerializable to allow people to write serializers without having to implement a deserializer in the same class.
• #26: Renamed the Sabre\XML namespace to Sabre\Xml. Due to composer magic and the fact that PHP namespace are case-insensitive, this should not affect anyone, unless you are doing exact string matches on class names.
• #23: It's not possible to automatically extract or serialize Xml fragments from documents using Sabre\Xml\Element\XmlFragment.

• #16: Added ability to override elementMap, namespaceMap and baseUri for a fragment of a document during reading and writing using pushContext and popContext.
• Removed: Writer::$context and Reader::$context.
• #15: Added Reader::$baseUri to match Writer::$baseUri.
• #20: Allow callbacks to be used instead of Element classes in the Reader.
• #25: Added readText to quickly grab all text from a node and advance the reader to the next node.
• #15: Added Sabre\XML\Element\Uri.

• Added: CData element.
• #13: Better support for xml with no namespaces. (@kalmas)
• Switched to PSR-4 directory structure.

• Added: baseUri property to the Writer class.
• Added: The writeElement method can now write complex elements.
• Added: Throwing exception when invalid objects are written.

• Fixed: The KeyValue parser was skipping over elements when there was no whitespace between them.
• Fixed: Clearing libxml errors after parsing.
• Added: Support for CDATA.
• Added: Context properties.

• Changed: Reader::parse returns an array with 1 level less depth.
• Added: A LibXMLException is now thrown if the XMLReader comes across an error.
• Fixed: Both the Elements and KeyValue parsers had severe issues with nesting.
• Fixed: The reader now detects when the end of the document is hit before it should (because we're still parsing an element).

• Added: Elements parser.
• Added: KeyValue parser.
• Change: Reader::parseSubTree is now named parseInnerTree, and returns either a string (in case of a text-node), or an array (in case there were child elements).
• Added: Reader::parseCurrentElement is now public.
